He just posted what I think is a draft piece that compares concepts of terror threats in the Cold War and the War on Terror. Most importantly, he discusses the product of those concepts: domestic legislation. <br /><br />http://japanfocus.org/-Peter_Dale-Scott/3932<br /><br />A recent and very critical analysis of law enforcement is &quot;The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI&#39;s Manufactured War on Terrorism&quot; by Trevor Aaronson. As a defense attorney, I&#39;ve seen firsthand how law enforcement creates threats that do not exist. Aaronson takes us directly into domestic law enforcement, the cases that it creates, and the law that results. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226690016900160196.post-35185296628338129302013-05-03T17:21:07.508-04:002013-05-03T17:21:07.508-04:00Jane Mayer&#39;s &quot;The Dark Side&quot; (or exc...Jane Mayer&#39;s &quot;The Dark Side&quot; (or excerpts) could make interesting discussion fodder, perhaps paired with primary sources and/or the Goldsmith book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226690016900160196.post-68009754848251464652013-05-03T10:41:09.415-04:002013-05-03T10:41:09.415-04:00Hi Karen, for a broad historical perspective on th...Hi Karen, for a broad historical perspective on the war on terror keyed specifically to the Cold War, you should consider my forthcoming book &quot;Long Wars and the Constitution,&quot; coming out May 13 (says Harvard UP and Amazon!).<br />Thanks, Steve GriffinStephen Griffinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10100301695851274182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226690016900160196.post-23823898682184188192013-05-03T07:37:29.836-04:002013-05-03T07:37:29.836-04:00I think one of David Cole&#39;s books (a couple of...I think one of David Cole&#39;s books (a couple of them co-authored) on terrorism and the U.S. constitution would be a helpful addition. And perhaps something on attempts to define what terrorism in fact is: morally, legally, and politically. In any case, I&#39;m sending along two of my bibliographies for you to browse through and/or make available to your students: one on terrorism, the other on torture.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />PatrickPatrick S.
